We are living in the beginning of the XXI century under the effects of a profusion of discourses - scientific or not - that emphasize more and more a division between the social and the individual aspects. The fact that people get increasingly self-centered to the detriment of the social aspect is a movement that could has been stressed during the XIX century. Beyond the true or false characteristics of this evidence, it is our aim to consider the historical conditions that favour the emergence of this discourse in our reflection on the concept of resentment, showing a social aspect (or would it be other social aspects?) that have never been separated from the personal aspects, but that cannot always be visualized. This evidence, however, gives us other challenges to conceive human beings and their existence.
